Resting Robber
This Robberfly would have possibly just devored his meal and was resting on the cactus leaf! As misconceived often, the robber fly does not have a sting in the tail, as the pointed thing at the end of the tail is just a oviposter for the ladies to lay eggs and the males to stab their sperms into the ladies. The real danger is in the modified proboscis that acts like a strong syringe injecting venom into the prey! They are capable of handling prey larger than their own size, as well as the dangerous varieties such as the bees and wasps.
